Design protection. How can I be certain that these wont be copied and sold at markets or some etc.

You can copyright designs and apply for international patents, but the sad truth of the matter is this: If you have a popular design that sells well, IT WILL BE COPIED. At first, there will be a few people like someone on here that wants to try the design from an educational sense - learning to make things. Then you'll see the knock off artists, and soon afterward you'll see your design, and perhaps even your logo on cheap knock offs in some store.

A perfect example of this is a particular style of belt. Some member on here started working with the idea to make Pre-curved belts, because most belts develop a curve to them over time. By building the belt already curved, it cut down on the 'break in' period, and was expected to be somewhat more comfortable for women (due to the fact that most women have more "hip flare" than men).

Less than 3 months after that discussion on this forum, I saw pre-curved belts made out of crap called 'leather' (and some vinyl) at the local Walmart....all made in China. So if you have a good idea, be in a position to mass produce and mass market the product to give you a jump on the knock off artists.
